Experimental investigation of flow pattern at 180° bend with rigid bed in effect of twin convergent bridge piers

Abstract The generation of vortices in sharp bends of rivers is a well-known phenomenon. However, their influence on the bridge pier has not been investigated deeply. This study studies the flow pattern around the twin convergent bridge pier in a sharp bend by an experimental approach. The test faci...
